Survey of Londoners

What is the Survey of Londoners?

The Survey of Londoners is a research study commissioned by the Mayor of London. The study will help to understand the lives of people living in London and show how London has changed since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

The information will support the Mayor of London to deliver a range of programmes to support Londoners including building strong communities, helping Londoners with their mental health and wellbeing, providing a robust safety net and good work for Londoners.

Evidence from the previous survey has contributed to a wide range of policies and programmes, including the London Voter Registration Week and relief efforts to provide food to the most vulnerable during the pandemic.

Who is carrying out the research?

The Mayor of London commissioned The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to carry out the study on their behalf. NatCen is Britain’s largest, independent, social research agency. For over 50 years, it has worked with charities and government to find out what people really think about the big issues. NatCen is independent of all government departments and political parties.
